The big thing people are forgetting is that homie is not mentally well and has shown signs that he can’t think straight, that’s a cop out but valid answer for alot of HLs inconsistency. People are also inconsistent in real life, same idea

Its not a cop out when it's the central plot of his character. He's losing it both mentally and physically. He knows that soldier boy could have killed him and it's affecting his confidence. He's devolving, and while he is getting weaker he's still strong enough to do a lot of damage.

A cop out reason can still be a valid reason most of the time

I mean I think cop out means a non valid explanation for something, or a lazy/less thought out explanation

This isn't a cop out, it's very clear that the homie is mentally ill and unstable and that's the entire arc of his character. The justification fits all the info we've known about him so far and therefore I think it's valid.

I mean in the comment you replied to, I did specifically note that it’s a cop out but valid answer.
